Surrender seems to happen in stages. As you become ready to let go of what you thought was safe before, it falls away as if it had never been. You are free, only you’re not free yet. You are always free, so why do we say you are not free yet? You are only as free as you allow yourself to be in experience, and your effort to confine yourself seems to fall away in stages. Your experiences still reflect limit to you to the extent that you still want it and believe that it is safe.

Right before you release the control of your separate self over what you see as an area of your life, you feel acutely the sting of trying to control anything as a separate self. This is good. You do not have infinite patience with unbearable pain. Once it becomes apparent that pain is intense, you want it to end, so you surrender to what is here and always painless. As you go along, you do not require such intense or dramatic experiences of pain to know that you want to let go of limit. A brief and intense blip can be enough.

You surrender into your actual and shared Self, so you are just relaxing into what you Are. What you Are is what everyone and everything you call else always is, so you are always supremely safe. If you are supremely safe, then all are always supremely safe.

At each stage of surrender, you begin to see the other guy as your Self. As you go along, you trust in the other guy more and more because you are trusting in our shared being. If there is nothing to criticize about the other guy, then there is certainly nothing to criticize about you. But you do see something to criticize in the other guy. Good. Because this is the key to your undoing. Whatever you see to criticize in the other guy is what is left of your self-hatred. Give thanks that the ping of tuning into self-hatred is so obvious. Here you Are, with You, in whatever form you appear. You are loved forever. Facts.

A Self can’t be hated. A shared, joined, unified Self is only love and can only be love forever. Facts. You can always rest here in facts. They make a very comfortable place to relax.

Acknowledgment here that the voice changes from that of my light friends to Jesus. I can see how they are the same.

In A Course in Miracles,[by Jesus] I offer to substitute for your ego. Imagine being a teacher tired of working. You call in and request Jesus as your substitute. Eventually, you can see that everyone you call other has done the same thing. This is how this experience ends. Jesus looking at Jesus waving at Jesus. Self looking at Self waving at Self. Hello! You are loved, and you are loved forever.

From Rev. Joshua.

I have been studing the ACIM daily, I am in my 19th yr. of this book by Jesus. The above statements are true to a certain extent but it goes much deeper than that short statement above which is mostly for Christens. Below is the orginal I use alsmost daily from ACIM.

1. If you are willing to renounce the role of your thought system and open it to me; I will correct it very gently and lead you back to God.JC

2. I can be entrusted with your body and your EGO only because this enables you not to be concerned with them, and lets me teach you there unimportance.JC

3. I will teach with you and live with you, if you will think with me. But my goal will always be to absolve you finally for the need for a teacher.JC

What I get from those affermation prayers is a bit different than the above blog. It is a way of Deprograming the old DC program and reprograming yourself with the help of Jesus. #2 The EGO is the problem same as the DC is the problem. But here he shows how to overcome this problem by not being concerned with them. Yes reconize them , then let them go , so that you can take in the new program by Jesus, As Above so Below. The 3rd part is important in that we must think like JC , not just in the old ways from the new testament which is outdated to a certain extent by that I mean the education of mankind was not very high at that time and they could not understand the higher concepts given to us today from his book ACIM.

And he is teaching us how to walk or talk ,you could say as baby gods. And when we learn to walk and talk correctly and we start sharing it with others, then we wont need an outside teacher because we have an inside teacher, the Holy Spirit. And the inside teacher will teach us the true meaning of the Holy Trinity, which is what the book is mostly about. Which is truly our means of Salvation, remembering that True Salvation must come from our one self. We must make the changes nessacery in our minds to effect our souls need to become one once again with our Creator Father. Truely a son of God.

For those who are now awake and apply this Spirit- Reality energy to ourselves and the to those around us, not only will we Ascend into the higher Dimensions but become a god someday like Jesus did, not a Creator God but a son of God, a god indeed. He was the first to do it but not the last. And when you read the book ACIM you will understand that the Holy Trinity concept is the best way to do it.You can call upon Jesus to help but then we must go to the Holy Spirit inside to complete the job or transition. Thats why God created him [H.S.] from himself as a higher form to help the lower form of himself, which is us to become one with all of Gods creations of Himself. Helping to bring us all back to the one mind of Michael our Creator Father.Jesus is the teacher who can help us to do this, but he cannot and will not do it for us' He is the living example of how to do it, for he too evolved over many thousands of lifetimes as one of us, to god status and joined with the Father and the H.S. to help bring us home. We are all one.
